Board of Management Election
The term of office of the current Board of Management expires in October 2020 following its three-year tenure.
A new Board of Management will be appointed by our Trustees in early October and will serve from October 2020 - October 2023.
The Board is composed of eight members as follows:
- Four members nominated by the trustees of the school (Le Chéile Schools Trust)
- Two parents / legal guardians of students currently in the school, elected by parents / guardians also currently in the school
- Two Teachers nominated by their teaching colleagues.
- The appointed ‘Board of Management' is referred to as a ‘Body Corporate’ as members of the Board do not act in a representational capacity. Rather they bring their respective insight to bear, coming from their particular experience and background.
- In order to elect the two nominees from parents / guardians, I am writing to you to seek nominations to go forward for election. Please note the following procedures for the election:
- Nominations for the election should be submitted by email, by 5pm on Wednesday 14th October 2020 using the attached Nomination Form to: secretary@stlaurencecollege.com
- Click here for the nomination form
- A person may nominate himself/herself or be nominated by another person. All nominees and nominators must be parents of students currently attending the college.
- Each nomination must be accompanied by an endorsement signed by the candidate being nominated. Please see the attached Nomination Form.
- The names of candidates will be advised to parents on the ballot should there be a need for an election. A maximum of six names will be on the ballot – the names of the highest nominations received.
- The election will be conducted by secret online ballot and the successful candidate will be the person who gains the greatest number of votes in that ballot.
A special debt of gratitude is owed to all who serve on our Board of Management. This work is done on a voluntary basis and it requires a commitment in terms of time and goodwill.
With the involvement of parents, teachers and trustee nominees, our Board of Management represents a true example of local partnership in action.
We look forward to your support in this matter.
Yours sincerely,
Principal
Mr. Shane FitzGerald
Secretary to the Board of Management
